UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ELTON KOHR, YORK, PENNSYLVANIA MOLD FORFORMING CONES FOR ICE CREAM AND FROZEN GUSTARD Application filed March20, 1930. Serial No. 437,553.

This invention relates to a mold for proof circular cross section andsubstantially ducing edible ice cream cones, and has for itssolid. Thecore 7 includes a tapered part 8, object to provide, in a manner ashereinafter a flared intermediate part 9 of greater diamset forth, anew, hovel, thoroughly efficient, eter than that of the part 8, and anupper conveniently adjusted mold for producing an flared part 10 ofgreater diameter than the 65 ice cream cone provided with means withinpart 9. -The part 9, as well as the part 10 is the upper portion thereofto constitute rein the form of a zone of a sphere. The outer spectivelya seat for the batch or lump, of ice face of the part 9 is upon agreater art: than cream and means for collecting and directing the outerface of the part 10. The part 10 10 the melting cream into the body ofthe cone projects laterally throughout, at its bottom 60 to preventdripping .from the exterior of the with respect to the top of the part9. The latter. l a core 7 is connected. to the lower face of With theforegoing and other objects in the carrier 1, by a suitable holdfastmeans 11 view the invention consists of the novel conin a manner wherebythe axis of the core will 15 struction, combination and arrangement ofbe disposed ,at a point between the transverse 65 parts as hereinaftermore specifically demedlan of the carrier and its non-hinged end.scribed and illustrated in the accompanying The diameter of the part 10is less than the drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment Wldth and ng othe Carrie! of the invention, but it is to be understood The taperedpart 8 a t upp r end ha he that changes, variations and modifications P1 1 designated 12 of uniform diameter. 70 can be resorted to whichfallwithin the scope The core 7 is formed with a series of spaced, f theclaims h o d d perpendicular, arcuate sockets 13 arranged in In thedrawi g wh r i lik r f ence the form of a circular row and each havingcha a te d not o o di g 1 a t the inner wall thereof forming acontinuation throughout the several vviews:

The inclined of a flat, rectangularplate adapted to be portion 16 is positioned above the outer ends hingedat one end, as at 2 toa support 3. The a of the inner walls of thenotches 14. carrier 1 is provided with an opening 4 for the The core-7is formed'with an annular heat passage of a heat conducting pipe 5 for apur-, receiving channel 17 which 1s arranged with- 50 pose to bepresently referred to. I 1n the parts 9 and 10 and has its top wall 1The core is referred to generally at 7 and is spaced from the top of thepart 10, and the of the portion 12 of the part 8. Each socket 75 latteris provided with an opening 18 which registers with the opening 4 in thecarrier 1. The opening 18 also communicates with the channel 17. Theheat conducting pipe 5 not only extends through opening 4: in carrier 1but also is positioned'in opening 18 of part 10 and communicates withthe channel 17,

' portion are in abutting relation, the recesses 22 register and coactto provide a pocket corresponding in contour to the shape of the core,but of slightly greater diameter throughout than the diameter of thecore, whereby when the core is positioned in the pocket and sustainedtherein by the carrier the core will coact with the walls of the pocketto provide a molding cavity 23 having extensions 24 and 25 at the upperportion thereof. The extensions being provided by the sockets 13 andnotches 14. The part 10 of the core 7 provides a closure for the top ofthe molding cavity 23 and the inclined portion 16 of said part 10 formsthe top edge of the cone 26 which is produced by the mold.

Each section of the body portion provides a heating chamber 27 intowhich leads a heat conducting pipe 28 from a suitable source of.

heat supply. Each section of the body portion carries a conducting pipeor tube 29-for supplying the material from which the cone is produced tothe molding cavity 23. The sections 19, 20 of the body portion areprovided with a suitable latch, as indicated at 30 for coupling them inabutting relation during the molding operation.

Although the walls of the molding cavity are shown plain, yet they canbe set up in a manner soas to ornament the outer periphery of the cone.

The form of cone produced, the cone being indicated at 26, includes ahead part 30 of saucer-like shape in cross section, a series ofperpendicular, spaced arcuate supporting members 31 arranged in acircular row and radially dis osed webs 32 integral with the inner face0 the head 30 and with the outer faces of the members 31. The members 31are of greater height than the head 30 and the webs 32. The members 31are spaced.

throughout from the inner face of the head 30' and in connection withthe latter and the webs 32 provide a series of compartments 33 wherebythe drippings or melting cream are directed into the tapered portion ofthe cone.

The parts 9 and 10 of the core in connection with a portion of the wallsof the recesses provide the head 30' and the notches 14 the webs and thesockets 13 the perpendicular supporting members 31 having their lowerends integral with the point of mergence of the head 30 with the upperend of the tapered part 35 of the cone.

After the cone has been molded, as well as cooked or baked the sectionsof the body portion are released or shifted away from each other, thecarrier is then swung upwardly carrying the core with the completed coneon the latter and after the core has cleared the body portion the coneis removed therefrom.

The construction of the cone produced by the mold is such-that when thecone is used for holding a frozen edible, the outside surface of thecone will be free of drippingsfrom the edible and therefore the soilingof the fingers or clothes of the purchaser will be prevented.

What I claim is:

1. A mold for the purpose set forth comprising a body portion formed ofa pair of oppositely disposed hinged sectionshaving coacting meanson theinner faces thereofito provide, when said faces are in abutting relationa pocket having a tapered, lower portion and a flaring upper portion, ahinged carrier seating on said body portion, a core secured to saidcarrier for positioning in said pocket, said core conforming in contoursubstantially to the shape of said pocket and coacting with the wall ofthe latter to provide a molding cavity, and said core having means inits upper portion to provide the upper end of the molding cavity withradially disposed extensions and vertically disposed L erpendicularextensions of arcuate form.

2. A mold for the purpose set forth comprising a body portion formed ofa pair of oppositely disposed hinged sections having coacting means onthe inner faces thereof to provide, when said faces are in abuttingrelation a pocket having a tapered lower portion and a flaring upperportion, a hinged carrier seating on said body portion, 'a core securedto said carrier for positioning in said pocket, said core conforming incontour substantially to the shape of said pocket and coacting with thewall of the latter to provide a molding cavity, said core having meansin its upper portion to provide the upper end of the molding cavity withradially disposed extensions and vertically disposed perpendicularextensions of arcuate form, and said core and said sections having heatreceiving means.

3.

4. A mold for the purpose set forth comair of prising a body portionformed of a oppositely disposed hinged sections aving coacting means onthe inner faces thereof to provide, when said faces are in abuttingrelation a pocket having a tapered lower portion and a flaring upperportion, a hinged carrier seating on said ody portion, a core secured tosaid carrier for positioning in said pocket, said core conforming incontour substantially to the shape of said pocket and coacting with thewall of the latter to provide a molding cavity, said core having meansin its upper portion to provide the upper end of the moldmg cavity withradially disposed extensions and vertically disposed perpendicularextensions of arc'uate form, said core and said sections having heatreceiving means, and means for conducting the materlal to be molded tothe molding cavitly.
